Editing Carlton Football Club (section)

===1983–2001===
In 1983, [[John Elliott (businessman)|John Elliott]] took over the presidency from [[Ian Rice]]. On-field, the club endured three consecutive unsuccessful finals campaigns under Parkin before he was replaced by [[Robert Walls]] in 1986. Also in 1986, Carlton lured three of South Australia's top young players to the club: [[Stephen Kernahan]], [[Craig Bradley]] and [[Peter Motley]]. The club reached the next two Grand Finals, losing in [[1986 VFL Grand Final|1986]] and winning in [[1987 VFL Grand Final|1987]], both times against {{AFL Haw}}. Kernahan went on to become the club's longest serving captain and leading career goalkicker (738 goals), and Bradley became the club games record holder (375 games); Motley's career was unfortunately cut short by a non-fatal car accident in 1987. Carlton had also recruited [[Stephen Silvagni]] (son of [[Sergio Silvagni|Sergio]]) in 1985, who is now recognised as one of the greatest fullbacks of all-time, and secured the league's star player [[Greg Williams (Australian footballer)|Greg Williams]] in a trade in 1992.

David Parkin returned to coach the club from 1991 until 2000, and Carlton was a mainstay of the finals throughout most of this time. In 1995, Carlton became the first team to win twenty matches in a home-and-away season (finishing with a record of 20–2), and won the [[1995 AFL Grand Final|Grand Final]] against {{AFL Gee}} to claim its sixteenth premiership. Carlton reached two other Grand Finals during the 1990s, losing to Essendon in [[1993 AFL Grand Final|1993]] and to the [[Kangaroos Football Club|Kangaroos]] in [[1999 AFL Grand Final|1999]]; in 1999, Carlton had come from sixth on the home-and-away ladder to qualify for the Grand Final, famously beating its [[Carlton–Essendon AFL rivalry|rival]] Essendon (the [[List of Australian Football League minor premiers|minor premiers]]) by one point in the [[1999 AFL First Preliminary Final|preliminary final]].<ref name="fpf3" />
